- [Narrator] One of the things to bear in mind…when you're doing drainage design based on a road…is that if the road changes dramatically,…let's say we pull this curb out more,…you're going to want to change the drainage.…It doesn't update automatically…to reflect the new road structure.…So in order to get rid of drainage,…it's a simple right-click on your selected road,…and delete the drainage network.…

Okay, so let's add our drainage network again.…So we're going to add it.…Here I'm going to do something slightly different,…and I'm going to change the center-line offset to zero,…which it is as a default.…And notice how the look of the design changes.…Quite dramatically, actually.…And the reason that I decided…I didn't want to use the default in the first place,…was because what happens is,…it puts a manhole along the center line…of the road, by default.…

And then, it has pipes going from the manhole,…to the inlets,…which just seems to be quite a waste…when it comes to time and materials.…So that's why I changed it in the first exercise we did.…

Autodesk InfraWorks is a design and engineering program that can help transportation planners and civil engineers better understand how their projects will function in the real world. In this course, learn how to use this powerful software to model watersheds, culverts, and drainage networks. Instructor Lynda Sharkey covers hydrology terms and methods, explains how to analyze a watershed, and shows how to troubleshoot your watershed model. She also demonstrates how to add culverts to a road both automatically and manually, modify culverts, and create and size drainage networks.
